"By the way, you already know what my name is, but I don't know what your name is yet."

He Aiqi took the man's hand and asked innocently.

"My name is He Jiu."

Although He Jiu looks really uncharacteristic, there are some invisible fine lines around the corner of his eyes.

But this man is magical and reassuring.

He seemed to radiate something that could warm people's hearts, and he felt safe as long as he got close.

"No wonder you were surprised when you heard my name before. Maybe this is really fate, right? You see, what is your last name and what is my last name. There is no such a coincidence in this world."

He Aiqi triumphantly said to He Jiu.

While talking, he raised his chest, as if he was really the same as the adoptive father and daughter he was destined to meet.

He Jiu took the little guy's hand and smiled indulgently.

The brows and eyes are full of gentle brilliance.

Although they are also silent on their own remarks.

But compared with He Jiu, whether it is Lan Shen or Uncle Amber...

No one can compare to this one.

Even if he doesn't need to answer you with words, he will look at you with a gentle expression.

Let you know that he is listening to you, and he has you in his eyes.

In fact, He Aiqi feels so different to an ordinary uncle like He Jiu.

In addition to He Jiu's temper tolerant to children and small animals, it is also because of the environment where He Aiqi lived since childhood.

All people are exquisite social elites packed.

Whether it is Lan Shen, the unique owner of the Lan family, or the well-known Uncle Amber.

Even the uncle Xinqiu who took care of them so much...

Everyone has a sense of distance.

They are all aloof, or alienated.

Even if the Lan family's education let He Aiqi and Lan Aijiu know that whether it is the new autumn, Amber or Lan Shen's Patriarch is sincerely good to them.

But this kind of cold sincerity, compared with He Jiu's warm sincerity like a breeze, is far inferior to the latter's sense of happiness and belonging to children.

In fact, let’s look at Aiki’s escape from Lan’s house now, and reveal Aiki’s doubts about whether she is Lan Shen’s own blood...

Isn’t this behind Aiqi’s longing for family and affection since she was a child...

Children are always innocent.

Even if they say that they understand everything countless times, there are always some things they can't understand or understand.

This has nothing to do with wisdom, only experience.

Even a juvenile genius like Lan Aijiu, when he first met He Jiu, he fell into the warm palm of this ordinary man and gently touched like He Aiqi.

He Aiqi, who has lived with He Jiu for more than a month, the more she understands He Jiu, the more unscrupulous she will show her teeth and claws in front of He Jiu, so as to expose the very good little tail she thought she had hidden.

"Cut...you untrustworthy guy. What else did you say about the promise... it turned out that you didn't buy me!"

Seeing He Jiu turn around and go to the small kitchen to cook, He Aiqi cocked her legs with a lollipop in her mouth and looked at the Lan Ai wine sitting opposite with contempt.

The young master of the Lan family is the young master of the Lan family.

Not seen for so long is still an elite look.

He Aiqi has never seen her cheap brother.

Obviously it is the same child as her.

Unsmiling as if he were an adult...

"Hey... how did you find me? I remember that all I told you were wrong messages. You were too ruthless... just do it by yourself. You also brought all these messy people here.

If it wasn't for my father's ability to endure well, he might be scared to death by this group of people. "

He Aiqi was clearly taken care of by He Jiu.

Lan Aijiu listened to He Aiqi's words, but still frowned at the man who was busy in the small kitchen opposite.

Ever since I was young, I have almost never been jealous of anyone.

For He Aiqi, who has always been tossing about, Lan Aijiu doesn't have much feeling as an older brother.

But just today.

Just when he found He Aiqi, he watched from a distance the sister who had always been mischievous and plunged into the arms of the man opposite.

The dirty sister smiled happier than ever in memory...

At that moment, even if Lan Aijiu, who never knew why he was jealous, was jealous of his sister.

The man bent down to respond to his sister...

He looked at He Aiqi and the middle-aged man from a distance, and looked at the stranger and sister as if they were a real father and daughter.

They smiled sweetly and hugged each other.

The man carefully wiped the dirt off his sister's face.

That man looked far worse than Lan Shen, he was an ordinary person who was so ordinary that he could no longer be ordinary.

But it was such a person who gave He Aiqi a hug, but it made him feel very unwilling.

Lan Aijiu couldn't guess how He Aiqi met this person.

I don't know why this person would be so good to He Aiqi.

It was just under two months.

In this small and run-down restaurant, Lan Ai kept looking at the man who was still cooking.

He didn't even pay attention to the words of the sister on one side.

"Hey! Lanai wine! What do you keep looking at my dad?"

Although he knew that Lanai wine was of this virtue, He Aiqi still felt very upset when he was ignored.

This time I finally heard the roar from He Aiqi.

Lan Ai took a faint look at his sister on one side, and said coldly, "That person is not your father."

It was like deliberately trying to make He Aiqi angry.

After Lan Aijiu said this, she felt dull in her heart as she looked at He Aiqi's already unbearable face.

Obviously they are brothers and sisters, but they have never stopped fighting since childhood.

When the other party is in trouble, he will rush up to help without hesitation.

The weird tempers of these two children really don't know who should go with them.

So just when the two were bothered looking at each other, He Jiu walked to them with the food.

Seeing the two little guys are full of anger.

He Jiu put down the dishes and the chopsticks, stretched out his hand to touch this and that.

He Jiu touched his head again.

Obviously not how Aiqi has become accustomed, Lan Ai Jiu suddenly red ears, two beautiful big eyes look straight at He Jiu.

He Jiu also rarely sees such a beautiful child.

Now sitting with his family Aiqi, like a pair of golden virgins.

When He Jiu had only one person, he didn't think about how he would live his life all day long.

Later, I accidentally adopted Aiqi, although it took some time.

But fortunately, He Jiu's ability to identify herbs and domesticate and guide alien beasts is good.

In just one month, He Jiu had his own site in this border town and opened this small restaurant.

Although during this period, his memory has not been restored.

However, he seems to be naturally able to tame beasts, and he can handle the work of tame animals that others can't do and dare not do.

So even if I lost my memory, the days of working hard with my daughter were very beautiful and fulfilling.

Therefore, this child who is said to be a good friend of Aiqi in the past, and now has no parents, also feels a lot more pity.

"In the future, you can come and play with Aiki more. She is very troublesome, and I hope you will take care of her a lot."

He Jiu's words are very sincere, it is not like talking to a child again.

Lan Aijiu nodded to He Jiu involuntarily, as if he was really a friend of He Aiqi's, and he really lost his parents.

"Dad, you don't have to worry about them. They are now adopted by rich families. How good is your life?"

Hearing He Aiqi's sour sentence, Lan Aijiu gave He Aiqi a sharp eye.

He Jiu laughed when he saw the two children playing around.

Ask them to eat something before going to play.

He Jiu didn't even know where these two children sitting beside him were the poor orphans.

These two, but those Lan family masters did not dare to add a finger to the Lan family's current Patriarch, Lan Shen's own flesh and blood.

Although in fact, Lan Shen has no memory of having these two children at all.

But there is no doubt that they are the blood relatives of Lan Shen.

He Jiu has to cook for Aiki as usual, and then tidy up the herbs that can be sold.

The weather has been bad recently, and there are all kinds of terrifying strange animals in those unregulated fields.

So people who dare not go out to find supplies, naturally don't have much money to spend here.

When business is not good, there is no need to worry about wine.

Spend some time with her daughter, although Aiki looks like a fool.

But in fact, he is very sensible.

It was raining outside the humble restaurant.

He Jiu is afraid that it is not safe for children to go home alone.

So I also asked Lan Aijiu if he needed to give video communication to his home, and temporarily stay with him and Ai Qi at his home for one night.

When Lan Aijiu heard He Jiu's invitation, his eyes started to shine.

I've never seen such an excited Lan Ai wine, and He Aiqi was dumbfounded and did not refute He Jiu's proposal.

It's just that the two children never thought about it...

There will be a day when the two of them will also have the honor to be picked up by Lan Shen, the head of the Lan family, in the rain.

God knows when He Jiu heard someone knock on the door in the middle of the night, and opened the door in loose and sloppy pajamas...

What does it feel like to look at the kneeling man and the long-haired man in a dark blue gown holding an umbrella.

It's a long time for the small townspeople...

Seeing such a bizarre scene, He Jiu couldn't speak for a long time.

"Sir... are you here to pick up Aijiu? He just fell asleep..."

He Jiu explained softly, he lowered his eyes although he didn't look so young and beautiful.

Ke Lan Shen stood at the door like that, looking at this man under an umbrella...

It seems to be fascinated...

Until He Jiu watched the cold-faced nobleman standing in the rain without any reaction, he stretched out his hand and waved in front of Lan Shen...

As a result, He Jiu waved his hand and was caught off guard by the tall man with long hair and long coat.

"?!"

He Jiu was so startled that he couldn't speak.

But Lan Shen was hugged tightly into his arms, and there was no possibility of being freed.

He Jiu was so embarrassed, he just wanted to say not to...

But Lan Shen, who entered the room holding him, frowned deeply.

The face that never had any extra expressions seemed to be distorted by something uncontrollable.

Lan Shen stood under the dim light of the simple shop, hugging this person he didn't even know...

I just feel that my heart suddenly hurts beyond words...

So he can only feel a little better by holding the people in his arms tightly.

For a while, Lan Shen didn't know why he was doing this.

So when he finally suppressed the painful feeling that caught him off guard, he slowly let go of the wine.

Then he asked He Jiu who was also confused with that cold voice.

"do we know each other?"
